What a day

I went to see a lady today. Not just any lady, this woman is a card/palm reader. I know some people might think that I just wasted my time and money, but it was actually pretty interesting and I really enjoyed it. So I decided that I'm going to share my experience here, with you.

The first thing she picked up on with my lack of self esteem. She said that I needed to love myself, blah blah blah. Yeah I know that, I'm working on it, it's a process and not a pretty one at that. Then she told me that my father was a jerk (I didn't need anyone to tell me that one) and that he was gonna miss out on a lot (again, I figured that one out.). Apparently I'm having two kids, most likely they're gonna be twins. I cringed. I don't want kids and certainly not twins. She said her accuracy is about 99.5% so I'm hoping that this is the 0.5% that she's wrong. So we'll just have to wait and see what happens. And we'll be waiting about 15 years, because she said that I won't be having them until my 30s, which I'm completely fine with. She also said that I won't get married until about 27 or 28. And that I should live with the first guy I'm thinking about marrying first, because that'll probably change my mind, but the second guy will be the one that I'll marry. I'm gonna meet him through work. She asked me what I was thinking of doing for a career and I told her archaeology and she goes yea that's what I see you going in. So I'm thinking she just said that just because I told her that's what I wanna do, but whatever. However she said that I'm going to travel a lot, which goes hand in hand with archaeology. And that's good because I really do wanna travel. She picked up on the fact that I hate math. And then she asks me:
"you have a favorite teacher?"
"yea"
"it's a male?"
"yes."
"he's the male influence that you need."
Then she found letters in my palm and I figured out who they represented.
A: Aryana, my best friend
E: Ernest, my grandpa
D and P: Denis Piquette, my history/favorite teacher
And the last thing she asked me was if I had someone who died whom I was close to. And I said yes, but a while ago. She said that this person is always around me and protecting me almost like a guardian angel. But I didn't need her to tell me that. She goes "is it your grand father?" I said that no, it was my uncle. *sigh* I love him and miss him so much. It's been 10 years but that doesn't make a difference.

So anyways, that was my interesting day and I really enjoyed it. :)

...

I just have to say this. I love my family. I love spending time with my aunts and cousins. And I love going to family reunions. With all that being said, I find it's odd that I'm not close to my mom and my grandma. I'm closer to my aunts and cousins in Alberta, and my aunt who lives down the street. I guess it's just one of the ways that life can be funny sometimes. But moving on from all this life shit; these past few weeks have been packed with summer fun.

I've had too much fun and done too many things with my family to name all of them but I'll try to list a few. So let's see.
-I got my hair cut and dyed red
-I partied a lot, but that's just what my family does
-We went to the market and I got a new purse
-I tried to fix my aunt's violin but instead I ended up snapping a few strings, oops.
-I learnt that it's no longer a "brain freeze" according to my aunt it's a "freeze brain"
-I went to my family reunion, which was just amazing and so much fun
-I played lots of volleyball
-I went swimming to the beach once, but I didn't have my bathing suit so I had to go in my clothes
-I watched my uncle teach kids how to back flip off a dock "the Alberta way"
-I learnt how to two-step with my aunt
-I re-twisted my ankle
-and last but not least I had to say goodbye.

Saying goodbye is always the hardest. I hate it. I hated watching my aunts board the plane, and I hated watching the plane take off. I also hated watching one of my aunts cry as she was leaving, that broke my heart. But I know that life goes on and that summer is almost far from over. School is inching closer and closer every day. However I still have a few activities left up my sleeve.

Speaking of activities; the Olympics just ended today. They were amazing, as usual. Canada only won 18 medals though, with just one gold. The USA won like 105 or something like that. Which is just crazy. I'd like to know how they manage that. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter, because every country is proud of their athletes because hello, Olympics, that's a pretty awesome achievement.
